In the early 1990s, Ireland was getting more than 40% of its electricity from coal.
Last week it closed its last coal plant: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hear me out: do OCR on all images posted to Bluesky and then match the detected text against my timeline filters, so that screenshots of tweets about topics I muted don’t fall through the cracks.

🇪🇺 NEW | #EU #CO2 fossil fuel #emissions decreased by 2.9% in 2024, following a steep 8.5% drop in 2023, CREA's early estimates suggest
The reduction was driven mainly by decreased coal use in the power sector, which now accounts for only 19% of EU CO2 fossil fuel emissions

GOOD NEWS FRIDAY: Nearly half of EU city buses sold in 2024 were fully electric!
EU policies + city-level action drive faster shift away from diesel. At this pace, all new city buses could be zero-emission by 2027.

Frequency in the Baltic grid - decoupled from Russia's grid since yesterday - is now stable well within +/- 0.05 Hz: practice in island operation going well. Synchronisation with EU grid, for extra stability, will start this evening.

I’m convinced that the only way to get rich countries to act on climate is to pose it as a competition with China.

25 minutes that finally explained to me why I love colored Christmas lights from 80s and 90s movies, but hate the ones you see all over the place today. A Technology Connections Miracle! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSFN...

We knew this, but it’s amazing to see it so clearly in this Norwegian data:
1: distance traveled by fuel; EVs (blue) are a sizeable chunk in 2023
2: energy use by fuel; EVs (yellow) are a barely noticeable sliver in 2023
Electrification doesn’t just shift, it massively reduces energy consumption.

Just spent 20 minutes updating 115 gmail skip-inbox-straight-to-folder filters for newsletters to start forwarding to Feedbin so that I can consume them in NetNewsWire next to my RSS feeds. Fingers crossed this works 🤞
